Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Disable Media Pages
Go to the Settings ▸ Disable Media Pages ▸ Mangle existing slugs. This will show you a wizard to mangle existing attachment slugs.
First of all, not everyone uses Yoast SEO. More importantly, while Yoast SEO can fix the duplicate content issue, it does not help with issue of media files reserving slugs for pages.

I think this can be a good short-term solution if the attachment pages have been indexed by Google and you want to preserve SEO ranking for these URLs.
